Stuttering at work

Stuttering at work Hi I always had a stutter. Sometimes it was more severe (especially in middle school) but never let it stop me from normal life. Now I work over the phone in customer service and I ...

Probably early 20s, but that's about when I became 100% self sufficient with a decent paying job and stuff like that as well. I probably just got alot more confident about life then...

Sorry to hear that. I had an opposite experience recently where I stuttered through the entire interview but they didn't bring it up even though I could barely get a sentence out. It was a shame becau...

Wow, there are some truly great pieces of advice in this thread. Great job everyone. To hear people give their advice and life experiences and feelings that are so closely related to mine is truly com...

Sadly, there’s a lot on the sub who aren’t fine being them. Including me. Do you mind me asking what age you are? I’m 23 and starting to accept my stutter. My hospitality job has helped me so much...

Hey, sorry you had that experience, I get it. I’ve had interviews where the person is so obviously tired of listening to me stutter. You might find this helpful… 50 Million Voices, a charity for peo...

30 here, my job is remote and involves talking technical much of the day so it can be rough sometimes.. but the worst is when I have to introduce myself. It’s definitely psychological but at least I’m...

For anyone reading interviews are hell when you are starting or after a long break. I switched my first job after many failures, mostly because of stutter I think. You should interview until you are s...

You can do nothing. In my job I also noticed that the better my speech is the "more popular" I am. When my speech is super bad, nobody talks to me much. They mean it good, they just dont want to ma...

To answer your question. Yes I would hire you as a personal trainer. If you're explaining how to do an exercise, I would just give you time to get over block. People are there to learn from you. It'...

I’m the same way. Highschool was miserable. Then I went straight into the trades which was the same as hs. Then to a white collar job and nobody cares about a stutter....

I applaud you for fulfilling a position most stutterers are afraid to fulfill. But I’ve always told myself that I’m not going to let my stutter get in the way of my career goals. I love that you share...

Bro where I'm at, stuttering or any disability that may hinder your work is extremely looked down upon. Especially when it is a calling process with sales(which is where i worked) I had to hide my dis...

I worked as a call center employee for about 9 years and a month or two. It was weird at first, but once I got more experience with it, I was able to get better at giving canned responses which I'd be...
